There are no pictures for today, but I don't want to forget so I must write!
Today I had planned to take the twins to an indoor play place in anticipation of some rainy weather. But at about 945 it was still not raining and we hadn't left due to bathroom delays (the norm now - sally won't pee, then MA won't pee (today she did though) and now Woodson usually wants to "try" for about 30 minutes) we decided to go to the park at the airport. It is a pretty small park but it has some HUGE advantages.
They have an observation deck so the twins could watch the planes land and take off. Woodson was in heaven...and I do mean in a blissful state I wish I could reproduce daily. Maybe he will be a future pilot? Mercer Anne really enjoyed it too. There was a lot of people watching and she loves that. There were a few tricycles hanging around so she played with those and the other kids for a bit. There was also a sand pit and a climbing apparatus which looked like a spider - the twins both seemed to enjoy it.
Overall, it was a great morning. The only thing I am struggling with now is the defiant peeing by my sweet daughter MA. Tonight, right before bed, I asked her did she need to go potty. She walked in the bathroom and said yes, then walked out, right into her room and peed on the floor. WHAT!!!!! ????? I am so confused. I wish someone could explain this to me. I LOST it on her. I mean, I just don't understand. We were right there, in the bathroom. As I went to get the resolve, I caught Woodson playing with the electrical outlets and then I really lost it. I mean the patience was gone. I feel like I wasn't even a very good bedtime story reader because I was so mad. I wish there was a magic calm down pill I could take in these situations. She is only 2 and 1/2 and he doesn't know not to play with the outlets unless I teach him properly and yelling is probably not the most effective method. But in the heat of the moment, I just did. Any suggestions?
